OSTI ID:5275378
This paper describes the unique and diverse test capabilities of the Power Burst Facility (PBF). The PBF test reactor, located at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), simulates normal, off-normal, and accident operating conditions of light water reactor fuel rods. Capabilities of the PBF are illustrated by brief discussions of the types of tests performed at the facility. These include a wide range of experiments to help resolve key safety issues concerning light water reactors, assess computer models, and confirm adequacy of specific Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing regulations.
